Chapter 2445: Terms of Exchange

Chapter 2445: Chapter 2445: Terms of Exchange

Facing the looks of disbelief from everyone.

The Golden Masked Man spoke calmly:

"Of course, the premise of any trade is that you must have a treasure that can stir this lord’s heart, or at least satisfy me."

And just then.

An aged voice suddenly rang out.

"This old man has come to this Dark City Trading Conference more than a few times."

"Never have I seen your Dark City Trading Conference bring out such a heaven?defying treasure."

"What?"

"Could it be that the owner behind your Dark City Trading Conference has also begun preparing for the Plane War?"

As these words fell, everyone fell silent in an instant.

Without exception, all present were the most elite experts of the Human and Demon Clans.

Regarding the matter of the Plane War, they were naturally all extremely clear.

Yet never had anyone spoken of this in such a public setting.

Thus, for a moment everyone simply watched, wanting to see what this man wearing the golden mask would say.

Only to see the Golden Masked Man say calmly:

"Though the Dark City Trading Conference is a rather special existence, it is still a part of the Human and Demon Clans."

"This Plane War is a calamity for the entire Plane. My Dark City Trading Conference naturally cannot remain aloof and untouched."

"As for this Bodhi Bell, while it is indeed a heaven?defying treasure, it is not as heaven?defying as you all imagine."

"The price for ringing this bell—everyone has just witnessed it."

"At the very least, there must be a Void Refinement Realm cultivator who primarily follows the Body Refinement Path, sacrificing his entire Essence Soul in order to ring this bell."

"Of course, this is not the only condition."

"There are other conditions as well, but this lord will not explain them here."

"Should anyone manage to trade for this treasure, this lord will naturally tell him everything."

Hearing this, the owner of that aged voice no longer spoke.

However, right after, another person’s voice sounded.

"So in that case, this Bodhi Bell is not a Plane Treasure?"

The Golden Masked Man gave a faint smile.

"Plane Treasure?"

"Fellow Daoist, you think far too highly of my Dark City Trading Conference."

"A Plane Treasure is of what tier? Where would my Dark City Trading Conference get the qualifications to possess one?"

"You should all be well aware: a Plane Treasure is the highest?tier treasure in this Plane, and only those topmost great clans have the right to hold one."

"The Human and Demon Clans are inherently weak; if such a treasure appeared here, it would only bring endless disaster down upon us."

At these words, many people’s faces changed.

For quite a few present knew the truth of that Alien Race siege a hundred years ago.

It was precisely because a great clan suspected that a Plane Treasure had appeared within the territories of the Human and Demon Clans.

Fortunately, it was later proven that there was no Plane Treasure within the Human and Demon Clan territories.

Otherwise, the Human and Demon Clans would likely already have been wiped out by now.

At this moment, the Golden Masked Man continued:

"However, although this Bodhi Bell is not a Plane Treasure,"

"this treasure, due to some special circumstances, contains within it a trace of the Power of Plane Law."

"Thus, it possesses such heaven?defying abilities."

"In addition, regarding this treasure’s origin, this lord can also give a brief explanation."

"This treasure was obtained from a forbidden ground within the Wilderness."

"This treasure should not be a complete form, but as to what the complete form of this treasure looks like, that is unknown."

Upon hearing this, many people’s interest clearly grew even stronger.

Just then, a woman’s voice rang out.

"Shouldn’t you tell us what other marvelous uses this treasure has?"

Hearing this, the Golden Masked Man laughed and said:

"Naturally."

"The first wondrous use of this treasure has already been given to you as a gift just now. I trust you are all well aware of it now."

"Its second wondrous use is that it can serve as a Magic Artifact to withstand Heavenly Tribulation. As everyone knows, within the Plane’s Heavenly Tribulation there is often mixed the tribulation of Heart Demon and the tribulation of the Illusion Realm. With this treasure..."

The Golden Masked Man was in no hurry as he explained one by one all of the Bodhi Bell’s marvelous uses.

When they heard the second marvelous use, many present revealed blazing expressions.

No need to guess—these people were for the most part Integration Realm patriarchs.

Only they would care so much about the Plane’s Heavenly Tribulation.

Zhou Yu also listened carefully to the Golden Masked Man’s introduction from beginning to end.

He had to admit, this treasure was indeed a heaven?defying Supreme Treasure.

However, such a treasure was more useful to those great Sects and large powers.

As for Zhou Yu, at present, aside from himself, he only had three disciples.

For him, this treasure was really nothing but a chicken rib.

Thus, Zhou Yu held no great interest in this treasure.

Once the Golden Masked Man finished speaking, someone immediately asked impatiently:

"What treasure does Your Excellency wish to obtain in exchange for this Bodhi Bell?"

Hearing this, the Golden Masked Man smiled faintly and said:

"There are quite a few treasures that this lord requires."

"First are Top?grade Spirit Stones, or Ten Thousand Year Spirit Medicine."

"Of course, if you wish to trade using these two, the quantity of each required will be extremely large."

"Apart from these, the following treasures can also be used for exchange."

As he spoke, the Golden Masked Man waved his hand grandly.

Immediately, a light screen appeared in the air above the White Jade Platform.

On the light screen, lines of characters manifested.

"Over a hundred catties of Earth Spirit Stone."

"More than ten complete pieces of Snow Soul Divine Wood."

"Over a thousand Dragon Blood Fruits."

"..."

Seeing the treasures listed by the Golden Masked Man,

for a time, everyone fell into dead silence.

They had long anticipated that trading for this Bodhi Bell would not be easy.

Yet when they saw those densely packed lines of text, each item a rare wonder of the world—and some of them, they suspected, might not even exist within the entire Heavenly Origin World—

those who actually possessed such treasures might not necessarily be willing to bring them out to exchange for the Bodhi Bell.

Zhou Yu, gazing at that long list of materials, had a contemplative look in his eyes.

Just then.

The woman who had spoken earlier spoke up again:

"Five pieces of Snow Soul Divine Wood, plus Top?grade Spirit Stones—can that be enough for an exchange?"

The Golden Masked Man almost didn’t hesitate at all before directly shaking his head in refusal.

"No."

"As for Snow Soul Divine Wood, not even a single piece less will do."

Hearing this, the woman sighed and spoke no further.

Clearly, she had already given up on trading for it.

Just then, another person spoke:

"I also wish to obtain this treasure, but I do not possess the items you listed."

"However, I have other treasures in my hands, no inferior to those you have mentioned."

"Would I be able to trade with those?"

The Golden Masked Man glanced at this person, then said:

"That will depend on what specific treasures you have."

Upon hearing this, that person suddenly fell silent.

Yet everyone present could tell that the two had not ceased their communication, but had simply switched to Divine Thought Communication.

For a moment, curiosity stirred in everyone’s hearts.

Just what treasure had this person brought out?

That it actually warranted such secrecy...
